They do not add much to the intelligence which has already reached us, b+ .they tend very otmngiy to confirm the opinion we lave always ex- Orpseti, via. that the BoustaoNs will very soon tease to reign in Spain, told that that Kingdom will 'be either united to , Franue, or he ►laced under the dominion of one of the Bt ONAPARTA family. The 'following sentence, 'which is contained in a pre. 0 1 )&4 a tick from Toledo, indicates pretty strongly Illearsaranals intentions upon the htlbita The security of Spaln requires that she should be united to France by bonds far more stria than treaties." The bonds by which the French Ruler unites other countries to France are perfectly well known on the Continent - -they imply absolute power on the one hand, and implicit submission on the other—they are not only stronger than treaties, but supersede the necessity of them. As far as the Govetmment of Spain is concerned, BUONAPARTZ has removed all obstacles to the accomplishment of his designs.— king CHARLSS has been nominally restored to his Throne, by his good Ally, and in gratitude for such a distinguished aSt of kindness he could not refuse to accept an invitation to spend the remainder of his days in France. The Prince of ASTURIAS has been distin&ly told that there is a Wall of Brass between him and the Throne of Spain. He too is in vited to pass some time in France, or, w hat is the same thing, in one of its vassal States, and without pretending to much foresight, we may venture to prediel ,that he will never again return to his native country. The Royal Family of Spain are, thus disposed of; but it remains to be seen whether the People will quietly submit to their new Masters : hitherto they have displayed a noble spirit of lade pendence ; but without a Leader and without con - - cert, we fear their efforts will be vain.

We insert them be cause every thing relating to such a man must be in teresting. They may snake a useful impression on the minds of the Americans, and operate as a s►riking lesson to their President, to warn him against a wail submission to the aggressions of France, and a resolute assertion , Of the honour and independence of his country, by chewing ,hiin how her great .

VYASUINGTON.'• F43IIIO.W.riBLN Eli-9 PE The subjeet of this unhappy aTair is still the pre vailing topic in the higher circles, and a variety of stories are in circulation. The Lady seems as much the objet of pity as of censure, as it is well known that she gave her hand at the altar with great re luelanee, not on account of an attachment to any in dividual, but because she was wholly indifferent to the Bridegroom.—What heightens the sentiment of . compassion in her favour is, thereportthat the hut• band was known to have a Lady under his protect' tion, from whore he had absolutely ref Used to separate. It is wonderful that a marriage should have taken place under such inauspicious cir cumstances, and though nothing can justify the dis• honourable course which the Lady has adopted, yet these circumstances, if truly stated, will but too well account for the unfortunate consequences which Lave arisen. Another consideration which operates in behalf of the Lady is, the unfortunate fate that most probably awaits her from the inconstancy puted to her gallant, who, it is confidently predia• ed, will be satiated in a very short time, and will " cast her, like a loathsome weed, away." Among other rumours, it is said that the Lady very shortly after her marriage, found a Letter. fro= the fair idol of her husband, and an intended answer, full of the tenderest expressions. The'vvife hastened to her Noble Father, wbo advised her to return to, ber husband, and wait with patience tbr a happier period. This remedy, however, did not seem- so efficacious as that suggested by the gallant, and unl happily she adopted the latter. , The retreat of the fugitives is said to have bees discovered by an intercepted letter sent to the dis carded waiting-maid, telling her where to go, as her • dit , missiou was only a temporary expedient. The maid, in agitation and alarm, carried the letter to the wife's father, but he positively declined to tak4 any part in the unhappy affair. The abode of this Lovers is said to be in the vicinity of Portrnatrk square. It is impossible to describe the unhappiness that ptt* vails among the friends and relations of all parties, and there can be little doubt that the misguided fait will too soon endure her full portion of the ouzel that her fatal error has occasioned.

Sir Faarants By anaTT took the Chairs and after the cloth was removed addressed the CVO pany, standing on the table, that he might be Pt vernally heard. The whole of his speech manifested as clearly the style of Mr. HORNS Toox.E as it it had aEtually been delivered by the latter. it con" lasted of the usual topics, invectives against corm?' tion, the necessity of Parliamentary Retort, this burthens of taxation, the weakness of MitristeFos Btc. with a few observations against the new diament Bill, and the new Plan of Military De* fence., The Baronet, 'adverting tc., the objecP tioct 14011,11, f .
